I certainly can relate. I still wouldn't trade my worst day.
Your worst days are as important as your best days, in making us who we are today. Learn from the bad ones, just as much as you learn and cherish the good ones, and never look back for longer than it takes to remind yourself. |

Hello Friends. I used to think that i was invincible when i was younger. I looked like i was 15-16 up through my mid 20's. I had energy that would never expire. blah. blah. blah, you get the point. well this might also be from the fact that i am working again after 5 years of being sedentary, but right now i feel absolutely and totally wiped out. like i am so damn exhausted that even concentrating on and writing this is becoming a tremendous chore. I once again just got home from another long 9-hour day. while my legs/back have always been sore, from my back injury years ago, now i have a permanent limp when i walk. oh, i can walk normally if i want to, but it feels incredibly awkward and extremely painful. mentally, i am completely drained after the years of abuse i have done to myself from the drugs to the anti-psychotics, to the horrible allergic reactions i had to the said anti-psychotics, that damn near hospitilized/killed me. I am 29 years old. i know there are posters older and younger than this on this board, but i actually feel much, much older. i have been told that i am just out of shape, and that might be true as well, but i am beginning to think that age is hitting me in the face like a sledgehammer. when i got home and laid down in bed from pure exhaustion, i damn near cried from the pain in my feet and up my legs. on top of all this i am starting to get extremely sick as i have a horrible headache and my throat hurts so bad i cannot swallow without tremendous effort ![]() can anybody relate? thanks and piece™ Out of curiosity have you been tested for AIDS. These are AIDS symptoms in addition to being fatigue and stress symptoms. Sometimes you never know but you'd better find out. ![]() Additionally, you might have the flu. |

These are the hours that try men's souls, and leave me wanting for more. The aches and the pains, the anguish and the exhuastion, are but reminders of our mortalness and desire to be so much more. They may be echoes of the past seared into your flesh crying out for attention and rememberance, or they may be new born wounds burning in their youth. When the day is done and my tired mind wishes to ignore my aging body it is then that I know I've done as Kipling has charged us men with in his poem "if"; I have filled each unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run... and it is good.

I have a good mate with chronic fatigue, although he has improved in the last year. He still can not play active sports, although he can still do a 40 minute exercise circuit. He has tried everything under the sun to find a remedy, anti this and anti that. What he said worked best was a positive mindset, a positive family support network and simply knowing yourself enough to judge when to sleep, rest and unwind.

put honey in your tea. don't rely on painkillers. take the pain, pain feels good. stick your head under water and hold your breath as long as you can! you really have to force yourself to stay down. going to 2-3 minutes is really effective. it hurt for a few seconds, then you'll feel a bit better. or you could just take your painkillers i guess.

The past few months have really impressed upon me that I'm getting older.
Playing softball on the residency team in the Columbus rec league, and it occurs to me that I am nowhere near as strong or as fast as I was even 3 years ago. I used to be fast enough to stretch out a routine single into a double at least 50% of the time, and I could crack 'em out to the fence for at least a 3-bagger once a game. This season, never got more than a single. I'm so freaking old. |

Jeez, Lancer, cheer us all up. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
